water heater plumbing... am I the only one confused?

So yesterday I decided I'd finally tackle the mess of pipes around my water heater because, you know, adulting. Thought it'd be straightforward, watched a few YouTube vids, felt confident. But once I got started, man... copper pipes, flex hoses, valves everywhere—total chaos. Ended up with a mini flood and a bruised ego. Has anyone else jumped into plumbing thinking it was easy and then regretted every life choice?
